Great Villain Showdown: The Final Match! [The Winner is..]

[Talgian]

Imagine you are in a pitch black room. You've just woken up, and you hear a noise. The most terrifying noise you know. Is it the high-pitched laughter of a maniac? No, it's cold, calculating breath of the most terrifying villian to inhabit any galaxy, at any time.

The Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader

Carry on,
-Talgian

The Joker. All the way. No questions.

Although I know Vader will win at this rate... is anyone surprised by this development?

Demiurge out.

 

[Krafus]

Darth Vader, of course. He's got the costume, the weapon, the background, the music, the movie series. What more could a villain ask for?

 

[Eosin the Red]

Gotta be VADER

 

[Particle_Man]

This one is tricky, but I think, in the end, I will give the nod to The Joker.

I mean, both have killed kids. Both have killed their own followers. But the Joker has better writers.

Read Alan Moore's The Killing Joke to see what I am getting at.

That said, I am pessimistic on The Man Who Laughs's chances. But The Joker would be the first to acknowledge that nothing is fair, nothing makes sense, etc. And then he would kill you.

Its the V to the A to the DER
Reconstructing the death star,
with my slick swade suite thats black like tar
F'ing you up no mater who you are.

Yah... you know my feelings on this.l

 

[Mad Hatter]

What are you talking about Vader is scarier in the dark? Vader will kill you no doubt. But Joker will torture. No remorse and no reason. He'll just do it for kicks and giggles. Vader has a purpose. Tell me you don't fear the madman who'll kill your for no other reason than because he can. Joker has never spent a single night thinking that he didn't have to kill someone.


JOKER gets my vote.

 

[d'Anconia]

Vader, no question in my mind.

 

[Wombat]

purty simple...

Darth has some vaguely redeeming qualities and turns into Mr. Potato Head at the end of Ep. 3 (6 for you newbies)

OTOH...

The Joker is vile, insane, evil, manic, creative, is willing to kill people off just to have a laugh, and has a much better dress sense.

The Joker for me

 

[drothgery]

The Joker.

I'm voting against Vader more than for the Joker.

He should have gone down long ago. Anyone who spent three movies as a whiny brat, and ended his career sacrificing himself to save the hero just doesn't belong at the top of the villian pantheon.
